Dave,

I remember about two years ago when I sent my ST-2k back to SBIG for
service and they ignored my pleads for them to return it using USPS.
They used UPS and of course I got burned with their fees ... over $100
for a 2.5 kg package and I cleared the item through customs myself or,
otherwise, it would have been nearly double that.

I also have other bad experiences with UPS. I must confess that
whenever FedEx was involved, everything was fine without the slightest
problem.

Anyway, I use USPS at each and every possible opportunity. They have
fully earned my loyalty and business!

Anthony.

Anthony - there's a difference between UPS and USPS.

Personally, and I'm clearly fortunate, of all shipment to me from

across the

pond, I've never had an ounce of trouble from any of the main

couriers (UPS

and FedEx) or postal services (USPS or An Post - Ireland). Lots of
heartbreak when they give me the Import and Sales tax bill of

course, but

safely delivered goods in one piece.

FWIW

Dave

Well, I just had a nightmare experience with FEDEX delivering my AP
600E mount, so don't trust them either.

Personally, I am a great fan of USPS ... great service, great rates and
never a problem!
